In imperial Russia, numerous local postal services existed. The imperial post didn't serve all the towns, the so-called 'ZEMSTVOS' rural postal services filled this gap. In total, about 3400 different stamps were issued.

If anybody posesses pictures of Zemstvo stamps that are not yet in my catalogue, please contact me!
